I Like To Do New Things, So

I Had A Dialect Coach To Get An American Accent, And Then Another Dialect Coach To Come Off It A Bit. There Is Something Deep And Mysterious In The Voice When It Isn't Too High-pitched American.

I Went To Brunel University And Very Much Wanted To Go On To Do A Phd In Management, But Then My Acting Career Started To Take Off. In Those Days When You Switched On The Box There Were Hardly Any Brown Or Black Faces.

I Think It Is Vital To Fight To Do Something You Want To Do Despite Not Gaining Your Community's Or Your Friends' Approval.

I Like To Do New Things, So I Always Take On Roles That I Feel Will Keep Me On My Toes. I Never Want To Pigeon Myself, So I Always Like To Surprise Myself. I Believe In Versatility And So I Would Play Anything As Long As It Was A Challenge.

Coming To New York Is Like A Big Hug, Everyone Is So Welcoming. There's Something About Here, Everyone Makes You Feel So At Home. I Miss My Family Of Course, But I Don't Miss London That Much. I Was Worried, But I Feel Really At Home. Everyone Says That Who Comes Here From London, But I Didn't Believe Them.
